That sounds really good.
I would like to share one experience with you here regarding keeping moina which I has recently helped me overcome my ‘moina’ crisis.
A few years ago I always had moina with success, – then I moved flat and didnt have enough space for the big container I used. But everytime I set up another culture in the new flat they simply did not live more than a little over a week, two weeks and I didnt understand at all.
Now I tried again, and asked the person who gave the culture to me, to give me any advice she could – one of them was to always keep a lid on the container (or she said the surface would become too cold). This was the only thing I could see had been a difference in what I had done, because in the new flat I only had space for small containers and I had actually not had a lid on it. I always had before, because I kept the cultures in an old tank with light armatur on it.
Now I have, and I am amazed to see that my cultures thrive just as they used to in the ‘good old days’. So my advice is : always remember a lid and good lightning above to keep it warm.
